Re: Workstations that come with GNU software

The NeXT workstation's cc man page says that cc is a version of gnu_cc
extensively modified to support objective C.  I am hard-pressed to
understand how they can charge money for the NeXT workstation, when
the central piece of software was developed by GNU.  Isn't this
"selling" GNU software?
